Tiffany OakleyA man is dead and a Bradley County Sheriff’s deputy is recovering from minor injuries after fighting and shooting to death a man she said attacked her at her home early Tuesday morning.
Deputy Tiffany Oakley was working the night shift, 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., when she went to her home on Oak Tree Lane around 2 a.m. Tuesday for her break, according to the sheriff’s office.
That’s when “someone stepped out of the shadows and accosted her,” sheriff’s office spokesman Ed Ramsey said Tuesday. “She told him to stop and show his hands and he apparently took off and a fight ensued. He apparently tried to choke her.”
Allan F. White IIIDuring the struggle, Oakley fired her weapon, mortally wounding the attacker. He died later at a local hospital.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday afternoon identified him as Allan F. White III, 23, a man Bradley County court records show had violence in his past.
